The Emperor's eyes sparkled at the Empress question. He looked at Liam with expectation.
Liam maintained her smile. 'Goldie really expect me to kill Ren Shou and place his body there? What a twisted old man.'
"Princess Aurora is sleeping. But one kiss from me, she might wake up."
The Empress's eyes turned dim and looked at Liam with irritation.
"Lady Ren, are you speaking nonsense in front of Us? We can behead you right now for your insolent acts."
Liam waved her hand in surrender.
"Your Majesty, this is a celebration. This humble one suggests for His Majesty and Her Majesty to take a break once in a while. The sun and the Ren Empire's moon are working so hard for all the empire's citizens to celebrate happily like today. This is the fruit of His and Her majestys' hard work. Please enjoy it at your heart's content." Liam pointed to the chairs behind her. They said that no one could punch a smiling gorgeous face. So Liam just kept her smile till the end.
The couple looked at each other. Then they looked at the sleeping Ren Shou. Their minds then wondered how the general even put up in this kind of nonsense? Not to mention he had to dressed as a woman and laid there in the casket on top of the table and displayed his body on the onlookers.
This was really insane.
The Emperor harrumphed and went to that flashy chair. He would see what this lady was up to. The Empress followed and remain seated.
"You can all stand up." The Emperor finally gave permission.
But then his jaw opened wide, forgetting his manners and dignity as an Emperor as he was shocked once again.
He saw the faces of those 'women' who were kneeling around the table earlier.
"T-the!" The Emperor could not finish his words. He was so flabbergasted by what's happening.
"M-minister Amm De?" He could finally speak after a long while. He asked this question to the 'woman' closer to him from the table.
That 'woman' was wearing a blue top and yellow skirt. There was a red ribbon on top of 'her' head. But 'her' face..clearly look like of a man, more precisely 'she' looked like the Right Prime Minister Amm De.
The woman with a red blush on both cheeks smiled warily.
"Your Majesty has sharp eyes. It is really me." Amm De had no choice but to comply and support her daughter's craziness. He was actually relieved now that the Emperor did not behead his daughter. Like Xiao Mei, Amm De has not fazed with this kind of surprise anymore. His heart grew strong as Liam grew.
Gasp.
It was a shock gasped from the Empress.
"T-those women..are the ministers?" She even forgot her pretentious gracefulness as she pointed her shaking fingers on the dark faces of those 'women.'
"Let me introduce the nine princesses ." (Translator: aka nine ministers) Liam, like a gentle prince, presented each 'princess.'
"The famous Snow White, Belle from the Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella from rag to riches, Arielle, the princess of the sea..." Liam proudly presented each minister with a happy and satisfied smile.
"And finally, the only prince that is present here, I am Prince Philip. The only prince of princess Aurora. I am the key for her to be awake and to join us in this party." Liam continued while looking at their speechless and dark faces.
"...." Only silence met her after she spoke.
The couple was still swallowing her absurd and unfamiliar words. They were trying to process it over and make some sense of it. While the ministers wanted to request their Emperor to behead this unruly woman.
"..W-why..they look like that?" With so many questions and curses in the Emperor's head, he only managed to pick this one question and voiced it out after a long while.
"Your Majesty, you might not have seen it, but before the ministers entered this otherworldly pavilion, they met a fairy godmother. " The Ministers all looked at Liam with blame in their eyes as soon as they heard the term 'fairy godmother.'
"This fairy godmother is so loving, generous, and kind to bestow one wish in each of them. Oh! What a good and a hardworking fairy godmother!" Liam did not forget to give praise to Aunt Min, who followed her every instruction.
"And now they all looked like that because they had wished that. It's in their hearts all along." Liam said while looking warmly at the 'princesses.'
"Nonsense!" Belle, in his bright yellow dress, shouted, enraged.
"Oh, Belle, do you wish your Beastly Prince is here too? I can ask that from a fairy godmother." Liam said in a gentle smile, but her eyes that were looking at Belle were not.
Gulped. Belle got scared for a moment. But the others were not.
"Your Majesty! Lady Ren was doing a fraudulent act! She should be interrogated, and we must know her real intentions for doing this to us! " Arielle in his rich green dress was furious too.
"Immoral! A wench! How could she disgrace His majesty and Her majesty's eyes like this! " Jasmine in his sexy outfit was the most resentful.
The Emperor frowned at this. It looks to him that the ministers were against this idea, but they were still wearing that. Were they tricked?
Liam enjoyed their bitter cries for a moment. Then she cried out.
"Your Majesty! I am the most wronged!" Liam kneeled and clutched her chest.
All the ministers-minus Amm De- looked at her bewildered. What is it now?!
She started her drama.
"I am a pitiful prince that can't even marry since my own princess is lying there and is not able to open her eyes to even glance at me! I am a bachelor forever as long she doesn't wake up! Oh, poor me! "
"...." All people.
What the heck was she talking about?
"You!You! and You!" Liam pointed out to Belle, Arielle, and Jasmine.
The Three Princesses clutched at their dresses. Feeling afraid that they have to wear another unusual clothing again.
"Be glad that your own Prince is alive and kicking! While my princess is lying there, with eyes closed but still remains beautiful as ever. I can't even marry another woman but have to face this mysterious curse and find a solution for it. So troublesome." Liam said with sorrow and tiredness.
"..." The People.
Snow White just hid his face on his sleeve.
"Y-your Majesty! This lady had gone mad!" Mulan, in his thick make-up, shouted in a horrified expression. Congratulations to him. He was the first one who woke up from this nightmare.
